Don't forget your beach rackets made in Marseille for wild games at sunset.
First stop, the creeks south of the city
Walk on the rocky and steep paths, which lead us to heavenly coves with crystal clear waters, the salty sea spray, the burning sun, the scrubland, the fishermen's huts remind us that it is almost summer...
Stop at the Baie des Singes restaurant on the edge of a turquoise cove opposite Ile Maire. Tasting of grilled fish stocked with the catch of the day.
It feels like we're on vacation.
Then head to the Goudes navy where our diving boat awaits us, an essential sporting activity in Marseille, and dear to Apnée which was born from a passion for the seabed . The Calanques National Park is home to many of the most diverse spots such as famous wrecks, majestic drop-offs and caves.
Late afternoon, stroll around the old port , imperative stop at Maison Empereur, the oldest and most charming French hardware store dating from 1827, then gourmet break at Vanille Noire to taste their famous ice cream.
With the sun turning red, it's time to go to Vallon des Auffes to enjoy the sunset and test the Marseille art of living .
“Chez Fonfon”, an essential address to taste the famous bouillabaisse, has already sold out.
Second stage, discovery of Roucas Blanc, like a village in the heart of the 7th arrondissement
Wander its small streets and its numerous staircases which take us to the heights, revealing sumptuous landscapes : Notre-Dame de la Garde perched on its hill, the Corniche district, the different islands, their forts and their castles, and the sea as far as the eye can see... A soothing and rejuvenating stroll far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Stop on the road at the Corniche Kennedy to observe the thrill-seekers who brave the danger by diving from the top of the cliff .
Then direction Le Petit Nice Passedat.
Clinging to the Corniche, with its feet in the Mediterranean, Le Petit Nice is this small, intimate hotel like Marseille does best.
Labeled Relais & Châteaux, there are only sixteen rooms facing the sea, a lagoon-colored swimming pool and above all one of the best restaurants in the city run by Gérald Passédat.
Last swim at the bottom of the restaurant. It's time to go home...
Marseille won us over: a seductive, sparkling city with a thousand and one facets, the beauty of the coves, the incredible light .
